Key Notes
- Dallas dominated time of possession and total yards, especially on the ground with 44 rushing attempts and over 17 minutes more on the clock. Ouch.
- Jacory Croskey-Merritt had a strong rushing day with two touchdowns, providing Washington’s brightest offensive moments.
The Commanders stats from Week 17 reflect a team that showed glimpses of fight on Christmas Day but ultimately couldn’t match Dallas where it mattered most. Washington sacked Prescott six times — a genuinely impressive defensive effort — yet allowed 211 rushing yards and watched the Cowboys control the clock for nearly 39 minutes.
Croskey-Merritt’s two-touchdown day offered some holiday cheer, but it wasn’t nearly enough. The 2025 season is nearly done, and these numbers reflect a team ready for a fresh start in 2026.
